The STAGE is a 6-day long intensive program designed for students in eligible roles that wish to be considered for The Jimmy Awards. STAGE stands for “Student Talent And Growth Experience” which truly represents the nature of this program. Throughout the 6 days, students go through extensive coaching in the areas of singing, acting, dancing, branding, and storytelling. Auditions are required to participate in this program, only sixteen students are selected to participate.
This program is led by our WONDER-ful Creative Director, Michael Oliver-Walline, as well as a diverse team of professional coaches hired by the Arts Engagement and Education team.
Interested students should take into account that this program is designed for students that wish to take an intense deep dive into storytelling, acting through song, stage presence, branding opportunities, and more. This program is not for the casual musical theatre fan as it is structured more like a college conservatory program.
